Journals

  • Impact Surgery

    Impact Surgery is an independent, open-access journal founded in 2023 to publish peer-reviewed research that improves surgical care worldwide. The journal accepts clinical trials, observational studies, health-systems research, technology reports, education work and policy analyses that meet ICMJE and COPE standards. Every manuscript undergoes structured editorial and external peer review. We have embraced Artificial Intelligence in our full data stack to support screening, plagiarism checks, reporting-guideline compliance, reference checks, and language editing; however, Editors make all final decisions at every stage. Initial suitability decisions are issued within 48 hours before full peer review to maintain timely, transparent communication. Articles are published under Creative Commons licences, assigned DOIs and deposited to ensure permanent, barrier-free access. Our combination of peer review, clear ethical policies, rapid workflow and immediate open dissemination is aimed to support a good author experience and ultimately benefit patients. 

  • Impact Case Reports

    Impact Case Reports is an open-access, peer-reviewed journal for case reports, short case series, and clinical images. We publish work that tests ideas, shows new techniques and informs policy. We follow the principles of the CARE checklist and we ensure authors hold documented consent to publish where any images or patient identifiable information is described. We have built AI into our technology stack to improve the author and editor experience, including language editing, reference checks, checklist compliance, and plagiarism checks; however every decision is made by experienced Editors led by Professor Aneel Bhangu. We aim to give an initial verdict within five days and we peer review all submissions. All accepted articles get a DOI on publication. The process is transparent, COPE-compliant and free of hidden costs. Every paper is instantly and permanently available to clinicians, researchers and patients worldwide.

  • Impact Health

    Impact Health is an independent, open-access general medical journal launched in 2025 to support authors publishing peer-reviewed research that advances clinical practice, public health and health-systems performance across all specialties. We welcome randomised trials, observational studies, implementation science, data-science reports, qualitative work, health-economics analyses and policy evaluations that comply with ICMJE and COPE requirements and exclude animal experiments. Every submission undergoes structured editorial triage and double-blind external peer review. Artificial-intelligence tools within our full tech stack support plagiarism detection, guideline adherence, reference verification and language editing, but Editors make every final decision. Authors receive an initial suitability assessment within 48 hours before full peer-review, ensuring transparent, efficient communication. Accepted papers are published under Creative Commons licences, assigned DOIs and deposited in XML for permanent archiving. We aim for a good author experience to protect researcher's precious time and ultimately help deliver benefit to patients.
